Dear Saviours

Saviours,

Please don't look us deep in the eyes and tell us we're absolutely amazing. Don't seduce us, confuse us, and seduce us again. Don't tell us you enjoy our company and don't refuse to fight your tired eyes only so that you can spend a few more minutes with us. Don't tell us you love our little actions, like it makes you smile. Don't kiss us, like it's all you've ever wanted to do. Don't look at us and smile that smile that immediately softens our hearts. It makes us fall in love with you. Momentarily. Even when you don't know it. Don't make us bare our souls and then not judge us. Don't tell us that no matter how tough we are, you still want to stay and protect us. It makes us fall in love with you, just a little bit more. Don't be our best friends, lovers, or the ones we share an inside secret with, or an awkward hug with, or a shy smile with. Don't cook for us with that absolute confidence, even though we can't ourselves. Don't place your hands on our skin and make us jump out of our skins, every single time. Don't treat us like we need help. We don't. Don't change your minds. Just make up your minds. We love you.

Just don't.
And then do it all over again.

Love,
The Saved
